Bolt – who later waved the green flag to start the formation lap for the US Grand Prix- revealed the experience of being in the Mercedes AMG road car was far from enjoyable.

“There are no words to describe it,” Bolt said. “The g-force on that was real. It was stressful. “The first lap was aggressive and good and then when he took the traction control off I thought I was going to die,” the legend added.

“I’m stressed. I’m stressed. I need to take five. I was not ready for that. I was screaming a little bit.

31-year-old Bolt is looking to a future in football, saying: “For me, it’s a personal goal. I don’t care what people think about it. I’m not going to lie to myself. I’m not going to be stupid.” The Olympic and World icon retired following the World Championships in London in August when he pulled up with a hamstring injury.
